Send your merriest wishes to your friends and family with this vibrant holiday card set! The design, inspired by the cocoa fruit, was created by a Kenyan-based artisan in collaboration with our friends at To the Market. Proceeds from every purchase go to MarieMae business school, which empowers female artisans with entrepreneurial and business skills—so every card represents a holiday wish, and a meaningful contribution to the women attending MarieMae!

2. Shegaw scarves
